Letters to Friends is something I dreamt up a long time ago when I was branding Delayed Missives. When I was first setting up this site on WordPress.org, I imagined that each post would read like a letter.
But… I decided that I didn’t like addressing posts to “dear readers” or “dear friends”, which you may remember from my experimenting in the past. Then I came up with the idea that I’d address each post to a different blog friend.
So, dear readers, if you’d like to help me with my blog theme — and also get some free press — you can submit your site and I’ll write you a blog post letter. I’ll include your name and link to your blog, or if you don’t have a blog it can be your Twitter, Pinterest, etc. I promise to rotate everyone in some semblance of order.
It’ll look something like this in the layout:
We’ll see how it goes, but maybe one day the Letters to Friends will evolve into a full-blown blogger network! I think that would be pretty cool.
If you’d like a letter, I’ve made it easy for you with a Contact Me form. Just fill it in!

I’ve been trying and extremely failing to make my own. I’m not much good with vector graphics and I don’t have good software to make them :P
